AI Contract Overview
The Military Sealift Command in Norfolk is seeking information from shipyards regarding their ability to perform pier-side availabilities and regular overhaul and dry dockings on six T-EPF vessels, specifically to execute a ride control system alteration on each vessel, estimated at four months per ship in dry dock. This is a Request for Information, not a solicitation, and no contract will result from this notice; however, submissions will help the Government gauge industry capacity for future procurements. Interested parties must submit a capabilities package addressing company profile, facility location and description, small business status under NAICS Code 336611 with a 1,300-employee size standard, any teaming or joint venture arrangements, proposed schedule deviations, qualified aluminum welding subcontractors, mobilization capability to pier-side locations in Norfolk, Virginia, or Orange, Texas, and the ability to conduct two simultaneous availabilities. The six vessels—USNS Yuma, Newport, Brunswick, Burlington, Carson City, and Trenton—are scheduled for pier-side work and subsequent dry docking between March 2027 and June 2028, with dry dock locations limited to U.S. east or gulf coast shipyards. Responses are due by May 27, 2026, via email to the designated point of contact, and while submissions are voluntary and uncompensated, they are critical for shaping future contracting strategy. The Government has not identified any evaluation criteria, payment details, inspection standards, or formal contract clauses, as this phase is strictly informational.
